"Three of Cameron Jamie's films: BB, which records suburban LA teenagers creating their own backyard wrestling events; SPOOK HOUSE, about Halloween in the Detroit area, which offers an analysis of pathological expressions of violence, death and horror at the margins of American culture; and KRANKY KLAUS, a film that is about the Krampus (hairy beasts with horns that give naughty children what they deserve) part of the celebrations for St. Nicholas’s day in Salzburg’s Gastein Valley. Cameron Jamie’s work - a blend of video, sound, performance, photography, and drawing- deals with European and American history and culture, and investigates their violent suburban rituals. Jamie’s sharp critical gaze often focuses on dysfunctional manifestations and practices in popular culture and their impact on everyday life and the psyche. His intricate work has its background in the artist’s own folklore and mythologies. Using the suburban culture as a case study, he analyzes how structures of mythology are shaped and shared and the extent to which they participate in the creation of individuals’ fictional worlds and fictional selves."
